This was the 37 of my job as a music teacher, I thought -- teaching was not for me. Then I had an idea.

An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me."The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet.This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building?That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.61. The author mentions the joke to show ______.A. horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB. Chicago's streets were extremely muddyC. Chicago was very dangerous in the springD. the Chicago people were particularly humorous更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年62. The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______.A. get rid of the street dirtB. lower the Chicago RiverC. fight against heavy floodsD. build the pipes above ground63. The underlined word "hoist" in Paragraph 4 means "_______".A. changeB. liftC. repairD. decorate64. What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel?A. It went on smoothly as intended.B. It interrupted the business of the hotel.C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.D. It separated the building from its foundation.65. The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______.A. popular life styles and their influencesB. environmental disasters and their causesC. engineering problems and their solutionsD. successful businessmen and their achievementsCHave your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice.Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did. One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.66. What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station?更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年A. It was carried out once a year.B. It was often announced in advance.C. It was important for the keeper's fame.D. It was focused on the garage and yard.67. The family began making preparations immediately after ______.A. one of the members saw the boatB. a warning call reached the lighthouseC. the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD. the inspector flew special flags in the distance68. Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______.A. result in some funB. speed up washing themC. make her home look tidyD. be a demand from the inspector69. If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______.A. an empty panB. many clean dishesC. pieces of baked breadD. a cloth covering something70. The inspector waved his arms ______.A. to try his best to keep steadyB. to show his satisfaction with the floorC. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's motherD. to express his intention to continue the inspectionPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check is special features.A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75000 entries, making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium sized, generally containing over 100,000 entries as well as extra features. For college work, you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries.If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, 更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年consider investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary.In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features.Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New ThingsFor most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework, instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.更多优质资料请关注公众号：诗酒叙华年Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students.81. How should we use our extra periods in the author's opinion?(No more than 9 words) (2 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________82. Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study?(No more than 17 words) (2 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________83. Why did the clay pot show the author's lack of artistic ability?(No more than 10 words) (3 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________84.According to the author, how will taking optional subjects impact up in the future?(No more than 13 words) (3 marks)_______________________________________________________________________________ __________Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.请以老师当众表扬你为话题，用下面所给的句子开头，续写一篇英语短文。

Feeling good, I (26)________ (empty) my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse park.Just as I approached my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier.

You are just so much (30) ____________ her. You helped those people, I noticed, and you seemed so happy.” She looked at me meaningfully and passed a box in through the window. “I think she would like you to have it.” (31) _________ (shock), I took it from her automatically. She smiled and walked away.After a pause, I opened the box. Inside was a beautiful gold necklace with a large grey pearl. It was (32) __________ (nice) gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger. The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.(B)Ask Helpful HannahDear Helpful Hannah,I’ve got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a smartphone a couple of months ago and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado. It was a great trip except for one problem.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. accessB. alternativesC. assignedD. confirmedE. conflictingF. elementsG. function H. innovative I. prospective J. separate K. supportingConsidering how much time people spend in offices, it is important that work spaces be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a cooperation’s image. They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or __41__, customers. They make businesses work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture welive in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers have come up with __42__ to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.”These __43__ solutions are meant to support better organizational performances.As employee hierarchies (等级制度) have flattened, or decreased, office designers’ response to this change has been to move open-plain areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been __44__ by changes in workstation design. Offices and work spaces often are not __45__ to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new designs allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workstation. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by lowering the walls that __46__ workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places, and upgraded employees’ __47__ to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often __48__ demands, including budgetary limits, employee hierarchies, and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish, or promote a company’s image and will enable employees to __49__ at their best.All these __50__ of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like a good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect a deep interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 to peo ple’s lives. The53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones—natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of informationthrough smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seems to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. beneficial53. A. priority B. proof C. possibility D. principle54. A. tested B. imposed C. changed D. created55. A. appearances B. virtues C. similarities D. passions56. A. illustrations B. implications C. ingredients D. intentions57. A. predict B. investigate C. diagnose D. recall58. A. critical B. initial C. random D. mature59.

A. emotions B. attractiveness C. individuality D. signals64. A. enhance B. possess C. maintain D. asses65. A. familiar B. plain C. positive D. insultingSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of folk art during several years of research around the world.For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechseläuten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Böögg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The paradeends with the Böögg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.C.

It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy. A Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protectthe town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is eating all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperateto kill BThe screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny. C To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults.

It is an adventure film directed by Peter Sallis.D. It is about the harmony between man and animals.(C)One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor (叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other opt ions were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar wa s nevertheless his superior. “You have to understand,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.”During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeare s”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , for example, Caesar’s sly provocation (狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against Caesar was the basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organising.Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimises his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelman had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things.Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt to be related. Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the traitors after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving in a business: when and how do you resist the boss?73. According to Paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?A. Cruel.B. Superior.C. Honorable.D. Rude.74. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeare s” to _____.A. help executi ves to understand Shakespeare’s plays betterB. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s playsC. provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshopsD. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays.75. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V?A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities.B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win.C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management.D. To warn executives against power misuse.76. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized.B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays.C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars.D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.77. The best title for the passage is _____.A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate cultureB. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business successC. Shakespeare’s plays: A lesson for business motivationD. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic resultsSection CDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children’s development. First, sport programs can provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth-sport programs have long been considered important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth-sport programs are critical for the learning of motor skills(运动技能); these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult-sport participants. When coaches develop activities for youth practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs, they must consider the implications of deliberate play and deliberate practice.Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté (2002) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult. Children typically change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g. in the street, on a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When involved in deliberate play activities, children are less concerned with t he outcome of their outcome of their behavior (whether they win or lose) than with the behavior (having fun).On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are motivated by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliberate play, they experiment with different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when individuals are involved in deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior focused on improving performance by the most effective means available. For example, the backhand skills in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable. Although the drills used in deliberate practice might not be the most enjoyable, they might be the most relevant to improving performance.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)78. Besides the learning of motor skills, what are the other two important objectives of youth sport?79. If children participate in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities, they are more likely to ________.80. In deliberate play activities, what do children do to maximize enjoyment?81. In contrast to deliberate play, deliberate practice is aimed at ________.第II卷(共47分)I.

I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies23.

there？""No，it's pretty nice，"I replied，checking my sleeve．"Oh，right．A pony（马驹）bit me earlier．"As it happened，the bite was virtually painless：more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child．The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor，and perhaps thought I'd jumped in ahead of him．The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist﹣heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods，despite sighs asking them not to．By feeding the ponies，tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car，and make them harder to gather during the area's annual pony drift（迁移）．The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked，the baby ones can be stooped from feeding on their mother's milk，and those who've gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area．Some of them are also later sold，in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England．Three weeks ago，I witnessed a small near﹣disaster a few mils west of here．While walking，I noticed a pony roll over on his back．"Hello!"I said to him，assuming he was just rolling for fun，but he was very still and，as I got closer，I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily．I began to properly worry about him．Fortunately，I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor's Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo．The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony．The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks．The farmer freed him，and he began to run happily around again．Dartmoor has 1，000or so ponies，who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area．Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies，and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable（可持续的）future for one of Dartmoor's most financially﹣troubled elements．51．Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies？A．To protect the tourists from being bittenB．To keep the ponies off the petrol stationC．To avoid putting the ponies in dangerD．To prevent the ponies from fighting52．One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is．A．to feed baby ponies on milkB．to control the number of poniesC．to expand the habitat for poniesD．to sell the ponies at a good price53．What as the author's first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back？A．He freed it from the trapB．He called a protection officerC．He worried about it very muchD．He thought of it as being naughty54．What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor's ponies？A．It lacks people's involvement．B．It costs a large amount of moneyC．It will affect tourism in Dartmoor．D．It has caused an imbalance of species．55．（8分）What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isn't a prerequisite for a modern grow﹣your﹣own lifestyle．On a mere 1/10 ofan acre in Los Angeles，Loe andher family grow，can（装罐）and preserve much of the food they consume．Loe is a master food preserver，gardener and canning expert．She also operates a website，where she share her tips and recipes，with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control what's on their plate．Loe initially went to school to become an engineer，but she quickly learned thather enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food．"I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs（香草）and foods for thatfresh flavor，"she said．Engineer by day，Loe learned cooking at night school．She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods．"I teach people how to live farm﹣fresh without a farm，"Loe said．Through her website Loe emphasizes that"anybody can do this anywhere．"Got an apartment with a balcony（阳台）？Plant some herbs．A window？Perfect spot for growing．Start with herbs，she recommends，because"they're very forgiving．"Just a little of the herbs"can take your regular cooking to a whole new level，"she added．"I think it's a great place to start．"Then？Try growing something from a seed，she said，like a tomato or some tea．Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does．With every planted food，Loe noted，there's a moment when it's bursting with its absolute peak flavor．"I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar．"Loe said．"Canning for me is about knowing what's in your food，knowing where it comes from．"In addition to being more in touch with the food she's eating，another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children："Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture，"she said，"that if we don't take care of the earth，no one will．"55．The underlined word"prerequisite"（Para.1）is closest in meaning to""．A．recipeB．substituteC．requirementD．challenge56．Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs？A．They are used daily．B．They are easy to grow．C．They can grow very tall．D．They can be eaten uncooked．57．According to Loe，what is the benefit of canning her planted foods？A．It can preserve their best flavor．B．It can promote her online sales．C．It can better her cooking skills．D．It can improve their nutrition．58．What is the"the bigger picture"（Para.6）that Loe wishes her children to understand？A．The knowledge about good food．B．The way to live a grow﹣our﹣own life．C．The joy of getting in touch with foods．D．The responsibility to protect our earth．59．（8分）Hilversum is a medium﹣sized city between the major cities of Amesterdam andUtrecht in theGooi area of North Holland，the Netherlands．Unlike most of theNetherlands，Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand．Once called the Garden of Amsterdam，it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests．They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness．For Dutch people，Hilversum is all about textile（纺织）and media industries，and modern architecture．In history，Hilversum was largely an agricultural area．Daily life was marked by farming，sheep raising and wool production．A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum．They built themselves large villas（别墅）in the wooded surroundings of the town．One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers，currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands．They moved in after big success in the textileindustry and aided a substantial textileindustry in Hilversum．But the textile boom lasted only several decades．The last factory closed in the 1960s．The change to a media economy started in 1920，when theNederlandseSeintoestellenFabriek （NSF）established a radio factory in Hilversum．Most radio stations settled in the large villas in the leafy areas of thetown．Television gave another push to the local economy．Hilversum became the media capital of theNetherlands，and Dutch television stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town．In the early 1900s，modern architects W．M．Dudok and J．Duiker placedhundreds of remarkable buildings in Hilversum．These modern architecturalmasterpieces（杰作）are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open airmuseum．Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75buildings still bear his unique characteristics．His masterpiece，Hilversum Town Hall，was built in 1928﹣1931．It has wide international fame and is included in manyarchitecture textbooks．The building has remarkable shape and looks like acombination of"blocks"．Actually，one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W．M．Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum．59．Hilversum is different form most of the Netherlands in that．A．it has a large populationB．it is cut off form big citiesC．is has many beautiful gardensD．it is in a hilly area with sandy soil60．What was the greatest contribution of the Brennikmeijers to Hilversum？A．Building a railway link to Amsterdam．B．Helping its textileindustry to develop．C．Constructing large villas for the poor．D．Assisting its agricultural industry．61．The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of．A．a radio factoryB．the media capitalC．a radio stationD．a TV station62．What is known about W．M．Dudok's Hilversum Town Hall？A．It consists of approximately 75buildings．B．It looks like an open airmuseum in the city．C．It is a classic example in architecture textbooks．D．It has shaped most of 20th century Hilversum．63．（8分）The oddness of life in space never quite goes away．Here are some examples．First consider something as simple as sleep．Its position presents its ownchallenges．The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag．If you leave your arms out，they float free in zero gravity，often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet （芭蕾）dancer．"I'm an inside guy，"Mike Hopkins says，who returned from a six﹣month tour on the International Space Station．"I like to be wrapped up．"On the station，the ordinary becomes strange．The exercise bike for the American astronaut has no handlebars．It also has no sear．With no gravity，it's just as easy to pedal violently．You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want．Without gravity to help circulate air，the carbon dioxide you exhale（呼气）has a tendency to form an invisible（隐形的）cloud around your head．You can end up with whatastronauts call a carbon﹣dioxide headache．Leroy Chiao，54，an American retiredastronaut after four flights，describes what happens even before you float out of your seat．"Your inner ear thinks you're falling．Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you're standing straight．That can be annoying﹣that's why some people feel sick．"Within a couple of days﹣truly terrible days for some﹣astronauts'brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear，and space sickness disappears．Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous．For instance，astronauts lose bone mass．That's why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA）puts in right on the workdayschedule．The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as itis about keeping any individualastronaut healthy．NASA is worried about two things：recovery time once astronauts return home，and，more importantly，how to maintainstrength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round﹣trip to Mars．63．What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space？A．Deciding on a proper sleep position．B．Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag．C．Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly．D．Finding a right time to go to sleep．64．The astronauts will suffer from a carbon﹣dioxide headache when？A．they circle around on their bikesB．they use microcomputers without a stopC．Theyexercise in one place for a long timeD．they watch a movie while pedaling65．Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because？A．their senses stop workingB．they have to stand up straightC．they float out of their seats unexpectedlyD．their brains receive contradictory messages66．One of NASA's major concerns about astronauts is．A．how much exercise they do on the stationB．how they can remain healthy for long in spaceC．whether they can recover after returning homeD．whether they are able to go back to the station．67．（8分）Science has a lot of uses．It can uncover laws of nature，cure diseases，make bombs，and help bridges to stand up．Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation（诱惑）to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful．David Brooks，author of The Social Animal：The Hidden Sources of Love，Character，and Achievement，appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation．Brooks gained fame for several books．His latest book The Social Animal，however，is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books．It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics．The book focuses on big questions：What has science revealed about human nature？What are the sources of character？And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't？To answer these questions，Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines（学科）．Considering this，you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts．But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox（非常规的），and perhaps unfortunate，way．Instead of introducing scientific theories，he tells a story，within which he tries to make his points，perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention．So as Harold and Erica，the hero and heroine in his story，live through childhood，we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction．Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters．On the whole，Brooks's story is acceptable if uninspired．As one would expect，his writing is mostly clear and，to be fair，some chapters stand out above the rest．I enjoyed，for instance，the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own．While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters，the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie eslewhere．These problems partly involve Brooks's attempt to translate his tale into science．67．The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to．A．illustrate where science can be appliedB．demonstrate the value of Brooks's new bookC．remind the reader of the importance of scienceD．explain why many writers use science in their works68．According to the author，which of the following could be a strength of the book？A．Its strong basis．B．Its convincing points．C．Its clear writing．D．Its memorable characters．69．What is the author's general attitude towards the book？A．Contradictory．B．Supportive．C．Cautious．D．Critical．70．What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph？A．Problems with the book．B．Brooks's life experience．C．Death of the characters．D．Brooks's translation skills．第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分20分）第一节：完成句子（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。

BIn the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassmentIn Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had apeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the zxxk front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.英语试题第7页(共12页)What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way fromthe beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.When Mrs. T otten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,” I answered，and my face felt warm.“Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A. It is wise to value one’s time.B. It is important to make an effortC. It is right to stick to one’s belief.D. It is enough to do the necessary.62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to _______.A. recite their homework togetherB. grade their homework themselvesC. answer their homework questions orallyD. check the answers to their homework questions63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.A. asked questions in a regular wayB. walked up and down when asking questionsC. chose two or three questions for the studentsD. requested her students to finish their usual questions64. The author failed to get the questions he had expectedbecause _______.A. the class didn’t begin as usualB. several students didn’t come to schoolC. he didn’t try hard to make his estimateD. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class65，Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. An Unforgettable TeacherB. A Future MathematicianC. An Effective ApproachD. A Valuable Lesson62. Usually, Mrs. A. recite their。

考点：考查冠词的使用3. Have you ever heard of the trees that are homes animals both on land and sea?A. aboutB. toC. withD. over【答案】B【解析】试题分析：句意：你是否有听说过树是陆上动物和海上动物的家？home to sth 固定搭配，是什么的家园的意思。
该句是一个疑问句，其中还含有一个定语从句。
比如这个句子转化为陈述句应该是You have ever heard of the trees that are homes animals both on landand sea? 然后把定语从句单独拿出来看将会是trees are homes animals both onland and sea. 根据固定搭配自然知道答案是to。
